Tactical Preparation for Competitive Recruiting
Wall Street Playbook exists for one purpose: to give serious candidates the frameworks, templates, and tactical knowledge needed to break into investment banking, private equity, and hedge funds.
Alex Thornton built Wall Street Playbook after going through the recruiting process himself—and seeing how many capable candidates fail due to poor preparation, not lack of ability.
Alex graduated from NYU Stern and has worked across private equity, sellside, and buyside roles. He's been on both sides of the interview table and understands what separates candidates who get offers from those who don't.
The playbooks and frameworks here are the same materials Alex wishes existed when he was recruiting. No fluff, no motivational content—just tactical, actionable prep that works.
Finance recruiting is competitive. Thousands of candidates compete for limited positions at top firms. The difference between those who land offers and those who don't often comes down to preparation quality, not raw ability.
Wall Street Playbook exists to close that preparation gap. The materials here are tactical, specific, and designed for candidates who take their recruiting outcomes seriously.
